The Roaring Sun

• Artist Statement

  The sun is alway blazing, it's the center of attention. The planets revolve around the sun. The sun especially alligns with my culture, when I was learning about the 四合院 in my AP Chinese class. How the room depending on the sun can change the value, displaying filial piety. I originally wanted to just draw a picture of a girl screaming, but then it just started to click more and more. I painted it yellow and red, so i wanted a background to contrast, with the purple in the back. I started to think it looked more like space, so I added the planets and got the name.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity means the ability to create things that are important to you. I use creativity throughout my life, with my art, music, and filming. It's the ability to capture situations that you want to speak about—problems within society, lives, and environment.
